Self Sufficiency... Or Something

Dave has finally convinced me that we should dig up part of the only flat land we have to plant vegies. We have been discussing the idea for ages but I've been pretty determined to keep the front yard free for the Young Man to play in. However, I am weak... and totally attracted to the idea of a self sufficient life... kinda... i think. And so we go, guided by John Seymour, into the great illusive dream of sewing and harvesting. Again (we have had many failed attempts). Watch this space.

Oooh let the veggie wars begin! We've just planted ours, too! Although you look like you've done a little more homework than us. I love that Olive is there in the highchair as if she's ready to devour the first offerings... now that's local - a real kitchen garden! xx

Sounds like a great plan, I am 'river cottage crazy' at the moment, I even have the kids wanting to watch the dvd,s. Am trying to convince my husband that we should buy some land (to be self sufficient). However, it might be a good idea to practise in our current 4x1 metre vegie patch. It is sadly negelected and slightly overgrown with oregano!
